Swindon Hub

Welcome to Swindon Hub, an accessible, friendly space run by the community, for the community.

Come and visit our affordable cafe, relax in our snug, read and share books in our book shop and browse items for sale from local retailers and upcycled furniture by Renew Men's Shed. We also have surplus stock items donated from shops for sale with profits going to Swindon Night Shelter.

We are building a calendar of regular events including a monthly craft market, weekly knitting circle and writers club as well as art workshops and regular music jams on the weekends.

We always need volunteers, so if you want to join us and help shape the future of communities in Swindon.
